I won't read beyond that, thanks all the same.
Psychopathological Projection Syndrome [PPS] requires a level of professional attention far removed, thank God, from my fields of expertise.
I must thank you, though, for having shared the various interesting theories you've created from such limited resources as your relative's perspective, from your reading and from your otherwise imagined African experiences.
Tunnel vision and PPS notwithstanding, my experience of your African obsession has been interesting -- fun even -- and not least because the spectator quality of your Africa "experience" and the hypotheticals developed from it seems to have elevated you to realms out of reach of most of us.
Out of reach, for example, to those of us handicapped by [In addition to all of our physical experience of all of the rest of the world] having actually lived part, some, most and/or all of our lives in very many African countries -- and handicapped by having Africa's smells forever in our nostrils -- its rythms forever reverberating in our ears -- and further handicapped by having the shape of its thorn trees and the love of its Peoples forever part of our psyches.
And who have other, more interesting, feet on the ground, things to do than to theorize.
I will pray that you find a nice therapist to help with the PPS -- and that you have a nice life.
Cordially -- Brian.
Congratulations, that was an exceedingly fine example of self important, self indulgent, grandiose, petulant, benighted ramblings yet. Oscar winning, as a metter of fact, and totally irrelivant to the thread's topic.
